Wall of Hope

The Wall of Hope

Muro da Esperança

Traditionally, in Madeira, held since 1979, on an appeal to the world of peace, involves over a thousand children who go from Avenida Arriaga to Praça do Municipio to place one flower on the wall to symbolize hope. The children’s purity is associated to the flowers delicacy, and when one adds a flower on the wall it means an appeal for peace. The wall of flowers symbolizes hope for a better world.

For the second year we hope to bring this great tradition to the Museum of Madeiran Heritage during the Feast of the Blessed Sacrament held July 29, 30, 31 and August 1, 2021. We ask for the help from all generations within the community to bring fresh flowers and to place them on the wall as a symbol of their peace.
